A hybrid golf club is a cross between an iron and a fairway wood that combines features of both woods and irons. Hybrid golf clubs replace long and medium irons but can also replace the 3 and 5 woods. Hybrid clubs are great for golfers who want to increase the distance and accuracy of their shots.
Loft refers to the angle of the club face, which affects trajectory and distance. Generally, experienced golfers with high clubhead speeds prefer lower lofts, while novice golfers benefit from higher lofts. Loft ratings on hybrids will be higher than both drivers and fairway woods, generally varying from 14 to 28 degrees.
Flex refers to how much the shaft of the golf club bends during the swing. There are generally five ratings for flex: extra stiff, stiff, regular, senior, and ladies. Your optimal flex will vary based on your technique and driver distance.
As shown here:
| Flex | Driver Distance |
| Extra stiff | Over 275 yards |
| Stiff | 240-275 yards |
| Regular | 200-240 yards |
| Senior | 180-200 yards |
| Ladies | Under 180 yards |
Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used Hybrid, here's what to look for:
✔️ There are no cracks in the shaft.
✔️ There are no cracks in the club head.
✔️ There is no rust on the club face.
✔️ There are no dents on the sole of the club.
✔️ The hosel is not loose, and the head does not rotate.
